第5回 審査員講評 1992/5th  Discussion Forum
 




● 審査委員長
★栄久庵 憲司
(インダストリアル・デザイナー)
太陽は大きすぎて、人間と対話する方法を長い間考えてこなかった。今までは人間同士の会話でライティングを考えていたと思うんです。それが地球との会話になった。未知の世界、新しい形に入り始めたということですね。


● 審査委員
★粟津 潔
(グラフィック・デザイナー)
デザインとエコロジーとの関係を考えることは、もう一度自然を見つめ直すのにとても良い機会だと思います。デザインにとってすごく良い時代を迎えている。素材の研究がデザインだということを、僕は言いたいですね。

★菊竹 清訓
(建築家)
作品全体を見て、非常に停滞しているという感じを受けました。テーマを与えられて「ものを考える」という方法論が、欠落している。感性だけでデザインするのには限界があります。テクノロジーに対して本格的にアプローチしなければいけない。

★葉 祥栄
(建築家・デザイナー)
エコロジーというテーマの場合、昔に戻るものと、先端技術に頼るものとに二極化すると思ってましたが…エレクトロ・ルミネッセンスのような冷たい光、発熱しない光のような作品が無くて残念でした。

★パオロ・ロマッツィ
(インダストリアルデザイナー)
テーマの難しさのために、デザインレベル、作品の仕上がりレベルとも、もう一つでした。今こそ日本が文化的なモデルを提示する時では無いでしょうか。世界中を見ると、必ず経済力のあるところが、文化を担っています。

★アンジェロ・コルテージ
(インダストリアルデザイナー)
「エコロジカルデザインがすなわちナチュラルなデザインでは無い」ということを明示した方が良いですね、今後のために。自然からメタファーとしてとったフォルムが多かったですが、そんな安易なことではいけないと思います。


 
Head Juror
Kenji Ekuan
(Industrial Designer)
The sun has been so big for us that it has never come into our heads how to link it to human beings. I think we have been so far thinking of lighting in the context of human conversation. When it comes to the matter of conversation with the earth, we have hardly given it any thought until now which means that we are now entering the unknown world, new pattern.


Jury Panel
Kiyoshi Awazu
(Graphic Designer)
Relationship design comes together with ecology gives us a new opportunity of viewing nature with fresh eyes. We might say it's a veritable good age for design, too. What I want to assert is design is the study of raw materials.

Kiyonori Kikutake
( Architect)
I had the impression that they were seriously stagnant. I also felt the absence of methodology of thinking on the basis of the themes provided. I mean there was the limit to relying only on sensibility in designing. After all, the students should not rely only on feeling but should make a proper approach to technology, I think.

Jonathan De Pas
(Architect, Interior Designer)
What I really want to say is that we must consider national differences, that is nationalities, as having greater cultural worth. If two designs would appear to be exactly alike from different nationalities, that would mean quantity outdoing quality so that we would end up having very dull and uninteresting products of art.

Shoei Yoh
(Architect)
have been anticipating that ecology taken as the theme of design would go to the two totally different extremities either of returning to the past or of having recourse to the more advanced technology. I was therefore disappointed with the absence of works like the works of cold light, non-heat-generation light like Electroluminescence.

Paolo Lomazz
i
(Industrial Designer)
Since the theme, which was set up for the Competition was difficult, all the works left something to be desired in terms of design as well as on a perfection level. When you think of Japanese present economic power, isn't it high time now for Japan to present a cultural model to the world? When you look around the world, it is always the countries with economic power that shoulder the world culture.

Angelo Cortesi
(Industrial Designer)
I would suggest we clearly indicate that an ecological design is not a equal to being natural. We had many forms taken from nature as metaphor, which I would call an easy-going practice.
